Jerry loves the way both the keyboardists play here, but when vince takes the organ solo he almost sheads a tear remembering Brent, and how he would waiiilll on that shit. Unlike Jerry, I wasn't able to hold back my tears.
This is my favorite Jerry era. I "discovered" the Dead in high school in 87 (Worcester, MA) and still have my Sirius radio tuned to GD 24/7 today at age 40.
I always call this the "Gene Simmons" era because Jerry had that great hair going on. This is a great video that shows Jerry's fingers well (nice for us guitarists).
Jerry and the Dead combined the US folk music tradition with the instrumental improvisational musical construct pioneered by bebop jazz (John Coltrane and his peers) to create "jam band" music enjoyed predominantly by middle class white kids :)
Jerry Garcia Joke...When asked why he couldn't stay sober, Jerry replied...I'd get clean, come out and play with the band and immediately think to myself..."these guys suck" ... sorry to the Deadheads reading this. I went through a "Love the Dead" phase but got over it during a 1978 performance in Blacksburg. They were just terrible ... I'm listening to this track ramble...not even Bruce Hornsby can save it. That said...I still listen to Workingmans, American Beauty, Mars Hotel, Europe 72.
@rbl0925 Some people "get it" and other's don't. We know where you fall, but show some respect maybe...especially if you still listen to so many of their albums. Plus, you happened to go to a bad show...They had a few of them. If you listened to the totality of their work (which apparently you still do), you'd realize how great they were.
@rbl0925 deadhead for life cabron. today at work i didnt do as good as yesterday, what was it? could of been many things cabron, many things. impossible to be the same every day of your life, unless your really goneeeee.
I've got more, I've been a little under the weather these days so it's hard to find the time to mess with it. I'll try to up more from this show soon.
Excellent video, shortiebighead! And an admirable way of covering what that security did! Got any more from 6-6-91, e.g. the Fire, or more on the way?
I've gotta give a big thank you to @shortiebighead for recording this. Seems more intimate and close than almost any other dead video Ive seen on here. I feel like its just me n Jerry hangin' out! Great stuff my man, i commend you for it. Thanks for making this heads' day, dude! :D
This was my first show, and I was standing in almost exactly the spot this footage was taken! Thanks so much for posting this and allowing me to relive it.
Yea I was there as I recall they had the dope dogs right inside the gate in true Indiana Nazi form I think there's still people sitting in Jail right now who were busted up there to the most unenjoyable show I ever went to thankfully I hit plenty before it and decided there and then I could care less if they were giving tickets away at deer creek I still wouldn't go back.
@bucketfreak196868 ...........dude every one was saying not to eat the ones that said "good and plenty" the good must have been smared on yours......it's cool though I had a bad one...... once........ I think
But I know for sure I'd Break into HELL it-self if I could go back..........
sorry man but he saved my life. Kind of like going back to see John Lennon.............um grate minds or great people.....not sure
lol i'm not sure who's more full of sh*t; me or you....... hahahahahaha
Best song ever, mmm well at least myz points of viewz! ; )

I missed a bunch of the shows after Brent died. So I'm wondering who is the guy on piano? Vince W. is on keys in that era. But who is the other guy?

@earlejoseph3 Its Bruce Hornsby. He filled in after brent died. He was a huge fan and already knew all the songs. He helped teach them to vince.

@Dloomis494 Well, George, I did. Used a Sony Hi 8mm camcorder on a tripod. Dubbed better audio over mine in post production.
Surely you can see some similarity to all of my other concert video uploads.Curious, why the doubt?
